vice to you
Sow your corn in rows 8 feet apart
stalks about 2 inches apart in the row
and cultivate just as you would any other
corn. Cut when the corn is in early silk,
and before any portion of the plant begins
to dry or burn haul up as fast as cut, so

pit. The tighter it is packed the better it
will keep and nicer it will be. You can be
just as long as you please in filing, provi-

for it takes green corn 48 hours to spoil,
and of course each fresh layer protects
that below, by covering it from the air.
The great secret is to keep it from expo
sure to the air, not only when putting it
away, but afterwards as well. Planted
and cultivated as above, on good land with
proper manures, 20 tons can be raised to
each acre. if large varieties of corn are
used, When all packed away, put on a
layer of, say, one foot of straw, then two
layers Of plank, closing all joints close,
then on top, evenly distribute, say from
two to.three tons of stone or other weights.
Pack just as you would pack curds for
making cheese that is, so the top can
keep sinking at it congresses and yet keep
air tight. Ensilage, properly packed, will
weigh from so to so pounds to the cubic
foot and think one cubic foot is ration

NOW when you open your silo, be sure
to fix it so air cannot get to it. Take out

large as king crab, but shaped some
thing like 1t. 1t hss any number OF claws
and legs, amongst which is a mouth into
which II Grams its food with Its feet. The
strangest part of this natural curiosity is
a snout that runs out ahead some six
inches long, which it wabbles around In
III directions as If clearing a way for its
course. Part of the shell is covered with
short hair.
The other animal is called sea.spider,
the size of medium soft shell crab and
Is evidently OF the crab species. 1t too

this warning. We think they are al
